A little early aren't you??? Go Huskies!!!

Prediction: We get the tip... KML for 3 with the first bucket.

UConn hasn't made a single shot yet...another slow start! Wait, the game doesn't start for another hour...

 

[Icebear]

Wanted to ensure the mojo appropriate set up of the game thread. This is no night for messing with the mojo.

I'm so glad to see the game thread at 7:37! Good mojo! Good friends.

Anybody else just hear Muffet talk about how classy Pat was and how great it was to have someone classy at the top of the game???

Officials: Dee Kantner, Lisa Mattingly and Denise Brook.

The players are all smiley on both sides and want us to think they're loose and relaxed and having fun. Hah.

So we found a bar in Amsterdam that will play the Uconn game for us.. Challenge is staying awake/sober enough to watch it #europroblems

No pre-game for me. I can't listen to it anymore. It's time to get down to business. As MoJett said.."this is a business trip."

 

[UConnCat]

Tip-off is 8:44.

Just talked to OSouthbranch to make sure he was observing proper mojo protocol. He says , "Hi," to everyone.

Thank you, Ice.

WE'RE DOOMED!!!!!! actually it could be a lot worse. At least Denise is mostly competent.

I hope we take advantage of our height. When we need a basket or two, chuck it down low where no one else but Stef or Stewie can catch it. ND's tallest player is 6-3, and she's a freshman.

Just got off the phone with OC. He says, "Hi," too.

Mojo is looking good. Everyone is ready to rock and roll.

Is this a joke ???

Hi back to everybody. Hope OC is doing okay.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Is this a joke ???

No. This may be the exact same crew that worked last year's final. Though maybe Dee didn't do the final last year and it was Dennis DeMayo instead of her.

 

[Icebear]

Is this a joke ???

No, the two I expected but thought maybe Enterline in place of Mattingly.
